Description: "Computer Science: An Overview lives up to its title, providing the broad coverage and clear explanations of the entire computer science discipline that have made it the leading text in the move toward breadth-first curricula. This book approaches topics from a generic point of view, rather than from the context of a particular programming language. The result is a balanced presentation that is not skewed to topics that conform to a particular programming language.

This book is appropriate for both majors of computer science and students of other disciplines."--BOOK JACKET.
